In 2023, the production of fresh crustaceans for human consumption in Italy's capture fisheries was valued below 185.18 million euros. Forecasts for 2024 to 2028 suggest steady growth, with values increasing from 185.18 to 230.17 million euros. This demonstrates an upward trajectory in production value, with a notable year-on-year increase: approximately 6.16% in 2025, 5.76% in 2026, 5.36% in 2027, and 5.04% in 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year period is expected to be around 5.32%.
Future trends to watch for include potential changes in international trade policies, environmental regulations affecting fisheries, and shifting consumer preferences towards sustainable seafood options. These factors could impact both production levels and market dynamics in the coming years.
